Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 1025 - 537: Unexpected Joy - Titanium Crystal Vein

Chapter 1025: Chapter 537: Unexpected Joy - Titanium Crystal Vein

The instant the Star Shield shattered, an ancient sound echoed from within the colossal, ancient city, far more majestic than an endless chain of mountain ranges stretching across millions of kilometers.

High above in the vault of heaven, the resounding voice was attenuated by the ship’s outer barriers—the Holy Light Shield, Yin Yang Offsetting Annihilation Shield, Neutron Star Core Armor, and others. By the time it infiltrated the interior of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, the sound had been diminished by 99%, leaving Song Chi unaffected.

Without any intention of engaging in pleasantries, Song Chi had already planned a hit-and-retreat strategy and wasn’t willing to waste even a second.

[Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Cannon] · "Myriad Purple Cloud Thunder Prison"!

The second attack feature was activated, and with the assistance of the "Zen Seal: Inner Speed," this area-wide attack feature unleashed nearly instantaneously.

Streaks of purple thunder talismans converged all across the Ancient Demon King City. The next moment, an infinite eruption of thunder engulfed the massive city entirely.

With the gold-tier main cannon’s attack feature enhanced to the Seventh Rank, bolstered further by the attack bonus from the [Yang Concentric Medallion], and infused with massive amounts of Black Hole Energy by Song Chi, this wave of explosions annihilated over 90% of the Ancient Demons within the city.

The Ancient Demon King City itself had almost wholly turned into ruins.

Song Chi remained indifferent to this result.

Under the guidance of the "Peeping Spirit Eyes" feature, he could pinpoint the exact location of the highest-grade secret vault within the Ancient Demon King City.

At the stern of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, its twin angelic wings unfolded gracefully. The next moment, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong vanished from the sky.

Reappearing mid-air above a section of the Ancient Demon King City’s ruins, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong unleashed a powerful gravitational force from its hull.

Under this gravitational pull, fragments of the ruins below began floating one after the other before being flung far away by the warship.

In mere moments, the debris amassed below had visibly thinned out.

Suddenly, a surge of potent energy erupted from the side. A Sixth Rank Ancient Demon that had survived the self-detonation of the thunder talismans charged out, its colossal form shaking the ground with every step, producing heavy tremors.

Shards of rock flew in all directions as six stars atop its head radiated brilliantly, surging with the overwhelming Power of Light and the Power of Force, as if one strike could shatter the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong into pieces.

Despite this, Song Chi paid it no mind, continuing to focus on extracting the wreckage scattered across the ground below.

Buzz, buzz!

The energy and the Power of Laws concentrated within the Ancient Demon’s hand reached an extreme. Even before touching the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, the relentless energy storms swirling around were already causing the outermost Holy Light Shield of the warship to ripple continuously.

The Holy Light Shield began to dim ever so slightly.

Though Song Chi seemed indifferent to the Sixth Rank Ancient Demon, his lack of action was merely superficial.

While the Primordial Clan split into Ancient Gods, Ancient Devils, and Ancient Demons, none of them were inherently weaker than the others. All were blessed with extraordinary star-related talents and physical prowess. Should the attack strike directly, even with the [Neutron Star Core Armor] upgraded to golden tier, it would still be a challenging test of its durability.

As the Sixth Rank Ancient Demon’s palm neared the hull of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, boundless Holy Light surged above the warship.

"Angel King True Spirit Guardian"!

Another gold-tier component feature was activated—this time for defense, not offense.

With the True Spirit Illusion of the Angel King guarding the warship, the devastating strike of the Six-star Ancient Demon was significantly weakened, rendering its remaining might incapable of causing critical damage to the [Neutron Star Core Armor] or the Black Hole Evolution Layer.

In the interval of the Six-star Ancient Demon’s attack, the debris below had been entirely cleared out, revealing a wall carved with ancient sigils and emanating a faint crimson glow.

"Materials tainted with the blood of high-level Ancient Demons—no wonder it withstood the thunder talisman explosions," Song Chi muttered, his eyes narrowing as recognition dawned upon him.

"Seems like I’ll need to strike again!"

Activating the "True Immortal Quantum Sword Light" feature of the [Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Cannon Platform], Song Chi prepared for another assault.

This time, he could not accelerate the process with the "Zen Seal: Inner Speed" and could only let the weapon charge at its natural pace.

This delay naturally granted the Sixth Rank Ancient Demon another opportunity to attack, but with the Angel King True Spirit Illusion persisting, Song Chi had little to worry about.

As the weapon charged, Song Chi glanced toward the frenzied Six-star Ancient Demon, his gaze deep with contemplation.

He pondered a question: Should he take this chance to enslave a few of these Ancient Demons?

After all, the Primordial Clan was undoubtedly a Starry Sea Advanced species with terrifying potential. If he could bring them back for the family to attempt raising in captivity, a successful endeavor would undoubtedly enhance the family’s foundation.

After all, given the Song Family’s core members’ plans, within decades or a century at most, they would attempt to upgrade the [Dinghai Dragon Steed] into a Star-Annihilating Starship. Once successful, the Dragon Ridge Song Family would ascend as a rightful Immortal Clan; at that time, they would undoubtedly need one or two enslaved species as a demonstration of their prestige.

Before he could think further, the "True Immortal Quantum Sword Light" finished charging. Its brilliant sword light roared as it struck directly at the ancient wall below.

BOOM!

The True Immortal Quantum Sword Light pierced deeply, shattering even the incredibly durable wall in an instant. With the wall’s collapse, the secret vault’s contents were laid bare under Song Chi’s gaze from above.

The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong opened a portion of its hull, releasing nearly a hundred Soldier Figurines. Led by three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines embedded with Brainwave Imprints, the group descended sharply toward the secret vault.

Song Chi’s target was naturally the mysterious silver oddity residing within the vault. As for the other treasures, it would depend on luck.

Once inside, the hundred Soldier Figurines divided into three groups and swiftly began ransacking the contents of the vault.

Meanwhile, aboard the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, Song Chi focused the majority of his attention on the surviving Primordial Clan members scattered amidst the ruins. ƒreewebɳovel.com

With the [Heavenly Authority Control Ring], an enslavement component, on board, the efficiency of enslavement tasks was far from low. While the Soldier Figurines were busy plundering, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong reopened its hull, unleashing a mass of Robber Star Race units.

These Robber Star units had a single objective: to finish off the surviving Ancient Demons hidden amidst the ruins, further increasing the enslavement success rate.

Both the Primordial Clan and civilizations like the Eight-Armed Snake Demon were exceedingly difficult to enslave, surpassing other Starry Sea creatures of equivalent ranks. Were it not for this, the Torch Human Civilization, bordering the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization, would have long been teeming with enslaved Snake Demon creatures.

Fortunately, the [Heavenly Authority Control Ring] boasted exceptional quality. Its top-tier characteristic, "Elevated Enslavement Authority by One Rank," ensured success rates were significantly higher than those of ordinary Enslavement Medals.

In a short time, Song Chi successfully enslaved dozens of Ancient Demons of varying ranks.

Of course, given that the [Heavenly Authority Control Ring] had a limited number of Enslavement Marks, Song Chi’s approach involved sealing the lower-ranked Ancient Demons into the Ruins Market or isolating and raising them in the Cultivation Secret Realm, enabling him to enslave a larger number.

"Hmm... Is this Titanium Crystal?"

All of a sudden, through the Brainwave Imprint attached to a Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine, Song Chi spotted a small pile of Titanium Crystal within the secret vault below.

The pile wasn’t large, only numbering just over a hundred pieces, yet it delighted him immensely.

Titanium Crystals always originated from Titanium Crystal Veins; even the smallest micro-veins would yield far more than a hundred crystals. This implied the Ancient Demons dwelling on this Floating Land must have discovered a Titanium Crystal Vein but, finding no use for it, had only mined a portion.

Upon this realization, Song Chi turned and inquired with the Ancient Demons already shrunk to human sizes behind him for clues.

However, the answers were unanimous—they knew nothing.

The most powerful among his currently enslaved Ancient Demons was a mere Five-star Ancient Demon. Naturally, Song Chi’s attention shifted instinctively toward the still-attacking Six-star Ancient Demon outside, incessantly assailing the Angel King True Spirit Illusion.

[Purusa Zen Seal] · "Zen Seal: External Time Stop"!

Activating the Time Stop feature, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong momentarily transformed into its Mythical Mecha Form, wielding the Silver Dragon Spear to pierce fiercely forward.

Not just the Mythical Mecha-form Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, but also the Sixth Rank Flame Giant and the Sixth Rank Robber Star Race members were summoned to launch an overwhelming attack on the Six-star Ancient Demon frozen in time.

The physical resilience of the Ancient Demon Clan was staggering. Even with a joint assault orchestrated by the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and the summoned entities, crippling it in a short period was no easy feat.

In the end, Song Chi was forced to activate the "Taiyi Quantum Sword Array" feature.

Being an area-wide attack feature, the firepower blanketed the region, further ravaging the Ancient Demon King City. The few surviving Ancient Demons dwindled even more, bringing the enslavement operation to a temporary halt.

Fortunately, the Six-star Ancient Demon was gravely injured from this strike. It took Song Chi merely five activations of the [Heavenly Authority Control Ring]’s Enslavement Marks to successfully enslave it.

"Where did you find these Titanium Crystals?"

After securing the Six-star Ancient Demon aboard the warship, Song Chi’s first question targeted this inquiry.

For once, he wasn’t disappointed. The Six-star Ancient Demon indeed knew the location of the Titanium Crystal Vein.

In a distant mountain range millions of miles away from the Ancient Demon King City, laughter reverberated within the hovering Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

Mere moments ago, a notification from four roving mining vehicles indicated that the Titanium Crystal Vein below was a small vein with a reserve of no less than 70,000 pieces.

Seventy thousand Titanium Crystals—a moderate bounty, but for Song Chi, whose supply of Titanium Crystals was nearing depletion, it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Issuing an order for the miners to accelerate their extraction, Song Chi’s gaze unexpectedly shifted toward the Six-star Ancient Demon beside him.

Considering the significant amount of time he had already spent here, if he were to wait for the entire vein to be mined, it would take quite a while.

After some contemplation, he inquired:

"Is there a means for your kind to rapidly coordinate support across different Floating Lands? Does this Floating Land have such a method?"

Upon hearing his question, the Six-star Ancient Demon quickly replied:

"Master, there is. Underground on this Floating Land lies an Ancient Transmission Array. It connects to a Seventh Level Floating Land belonging to my Ancient Demon Clan!"

Hearing this, Song Chi’s heart sank abruptly.

This was far from good news!!
